    Like there's no sense in life and death, there is also no sense in the build process @doingitanyway @beanielou. The brokers who were very quick to respond when it was our problem have noticeably not responded since I said 'well it was your valuation so you'll have to adjust it won't you'.

    And I thought selling some land and then a house caused prolems. 

    I hope you are feeling a bit more like PIP soon and at least some of your problems are sorted .

    You really don’t need the added build stress at the moment, what a nightmare it’s proving to be! 

    I hope things start to improve for you very soon, you’re due a break from all this bad stuff. 

    Take care x

    Usuals
    20 minute walk dropping off bag to charity shop
    Submitted complaint to ombudsman about debt collection agency

    Told brokers to sort it out between themselves as we are literally not warranty providers and can't do anything about this

    15 minute carpet walk
    Survey
    Submitted a YouSpot
    Spec work

    Looks like my aunt isn't going to improve enough to go into a care home and they're talking about end of life care now

    You're a better woman than me, @Blackcats. I'd happily cook our stressed out, sad & fed-up lovely PiP the described meal...... but it would not be adulterated by blimming beans! I do like them, but only on toast. I don't enjoy them in any other form. So I've failed the virtual friendship test right there!
